The physics department has called upon students to help set up a movie car chase and collision scene. The director has a 700 kg car traveling due East at 34 m/s. It will collide with an SUV, weighing 2800 kg, that is traveling due North. The vehicles will stick together after impact and head directly toward a drone that is carrying a camera. If the drone is flying at a 29 degree angle with respect to North (i.e., 29 degrees East of North), how fast, in m/s, does the SUV need to be going to get the exact shot the director wants?
A bullet of mass 20 g with a velocity of 500 m/s collides with a 1 kg block which is atrest on an inclined plane that makes an angle of 53◦ with the horizontal (the velocity of the bullet is parallel to the inclined plane). The velocity of the bullet decreases to 150 m/s after passing through the block. If the block stops after it has moved a distance 2 m (in the upward direction), find the friction coefficient µ between the block and the surface.(Take g = 10 m/s2 , cos 53◦ = 0.6 and sin 53◦ = 0.8.)
The Earth and the Moon form a two-body system interacting through their mutual gravita- tional attraction. In addition, each body is attracted by the gravitational field of the Sun, which here we will treat as an external force to the two-body Earth-Moon system. Take the Sun as the origin and write down the equations of motion for the center of mass X and the relative position x of the Earth-Moon system. Expand the resulting expressions in powers of x/X, the ratio of their magnitudes. Show that to lowest order in x/X the center of mass and relative position are uncoupled, but that in higher orders they are coupled because the Sun's gravitational force is not constant.
